Wildlife

I feel quite lucky to be alive after my weekend in a nature reserve. My friend Catherine was driving us to the beach through a small game park when suddenly a huge Waterbuck (the size of a small horse) ran in front of us and jumped in to the windscreen!! It happened in a split second and when we skidded to a stop thankfully none of us was hurt. I was covered in shards of glass but we all walked away from the car. Cat's VW CitiGolf had a huge dent in the roof and the windscreen was destroyed, basically we were very lucky not to be killed. The animal had staggered off in to the bush and the rangers couldn't find it.
Wow! It certainly rivalled the experience of seeing rhinos, hippos, eagles and crocodiles that i saw during the rest of the weekend. I will have so many after-dinner stories after this that i may go on the circuit!!
